I'm afraid this immortal witch is also feeling depressed.
“Under the gaze of the stars…under the gaze of the stars?”
A seemingly unintentional remark made Leonard slightly panicked. He smiled and said, "What do you want to drink?"
"A glass of Red Widow, I like the name of this drink."
Red widow?
What's so nice about this name?
Leonard was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He just took this opportunity to avoid the stars' question.
After being reminded by the old man last time, he had become very alert to the word "stars".
I was afraid that I would accidentally get involved with the stars again.
While drinking and feeling drunk, Leonard began to recite poetry again. He glanced at Hastur, who had always been ignored by him, and felt that he should introduce his friends to Serafina.
"The meandering Tasok River
The black horse that flies away in the dust
A flash of white
Lightning!
in a hurry
Running wildly
Where are you going if you can't turn back?
You actually ran headlong into a desolate tomb
Waiting for a miracle in sleep
The plump flesh spans the decaying bones
The girl holding flowers in her hands
Who are you waiting for to arrive..."
When Hastur heard the familiar poem sung by Leonard, he really wanted to spit a sip of wine in Leonard's face.
Why does this guy want to involve himself when he is so good?
Can't you just let yourself be a quiet melon-eater?
He had already anticipated what Leonard would say next.
Sure enough, after Leonard finished singing the poem, the eyes of the immortal witch who called herself Seraphina shone slightly, "This poem is really good, your talent is amazing."
"Serafina, although I wish I was the owner of this poem, it was written by a friend of mine who is here tonight."
Serafina showed a curious look in her eyes at the right time. Leonard stood up and walked straight towards Hastur's location, only to see that Hastur had already gotten up and headed to the bathroom.
He was stunned for several seconds, then returned to his position and said sheepishly: "He seems to have drank too much tonight."
"Your friend is the blond young man just now?"
"Yes, only his handsome appearance can match the talent of this poem." Leonard made no secret of his admiration for Hastur.
"Sounds interesting. Are you familiar with him?"
"We only met once."
Leonard then told the details of his first encounter with Hastur to Serafina in front of him.
Seeing that Serafina seemed very interested in this, Leonard hurriedly stopped talking about Hastur.
In front of a girl, you must not praise another man too much. Once the girl's curiosity is aroused, the situation will go in a bad direction.
"Serafina, tonight belongs to the two of us. Even though he is my friend, he should not join us. I think he deliberately avoided it just now because of this."
At this moment, Leonard understood that Hastur suddenly left for the bathroom, in order not to steal his limelight in front of Seraphina!
Hastur is truly a magnanimous and selfless friend!
"Your jealousy will lower your impression in my heart."
"Oh, Serafina, I admit that I need to improve in this aspect, but, Serafina, I just want to possess everything from you. Even your casual words can make me crazy with jealousy. ."
"really?"
Serafina's slightly joyful and playful smile made Leonard feel that his heart was pierced by the arrow of Cupid.
Hot and fiery, it was the endless love that flowed from the depths of his heart.
About ten minutes later, Hastur came out of the bathroom.
He had just thought about sneaking out through the back door, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. In addition to not wanting to attract the attention of the Ageless Witch, he also wanted to see the latest progress between Leonard and the Ageless Witch.
There are risks in eating melons, but these melons taste particularly sweet.
Isn’t this the support of the old man in Leonard’s body?
Chapter 184 The Ageless Witch: Hastur, you can send me home
?
When Hastur's figure appeared in the bar again, Leonard stood up and walked towards him, and Serafina also cast a curious look.
"Hasta, I didn't expect you to come tonight. I hope you won't be angry at what I did just now. I think you can understand my situation just now."
There was an apology on Leonard's face. He really felt that he was sorry for Hastur in front of him. It was obvious that his original intention of coming to this bar was to buy back Hastur's drink, but now, Hastur When I arrived, I was chatting with a beautiful woman.
Putting himself in his shoes, Leonard felt that he was so inhuman.
"Of course, I understand you very well."
Hastur had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart: "I understand that it is very interesting for you to fall in love with a witch. In fact, you can just pretend that I don't exist."
Leonard said happily: "Hasta, I am determined to be your friend!"
"Go, don't let people wait there for a long time."
"I would like to introduce you to Seraphina. After all, you are my proud friend."
"This is not good. The bar tonight is a stage that belongs to the two of you. There should be no third party involved." Hasta refused Leonard's invitation with a smile.
He has no intention of talking to the witch and making friends. As for what it's like to be a witch, he should let Leonard experience it by himself.
"Well, if I have time in the future, I will come and treat you to a drink."
Leonard didn't force it, and after chatting with Hastur for a few more words, he returned to his seat, while Hastur was still sitting on the edge of the bar.
"Your friend seems special?"
Serafina looked at Hastur, who was sitting on the edge drinking alone, and a different light seemed to flow in her eyes.
"He is indeed a very special friend, and he is very understanding of my current situation."
"Let's meet him for a drink together. The more friends the better, right?"
Leonard refused: "He likes to be alone and enjoys loneliness. Let's not bother him, and tonight only belongs to the two of us. The same jealousy, I don't want to taste it a second time."
Serafina didn't mention Hastur again, and instead communicated with Leonard, keeping her eyes on Leonard's star-like eyes.
About half an hour later, Serafina's eyes were full of reluctance and she said: "It's almost time, I should go back."
"Go back where?"
"A family I don't really want to go back to."
"If this family is causing you pain, then I want to be able to help you get out of it."
"Pain is the nourishment of life. Only when I experience pain can I run towards happiness."
"Serafina, if only I could have met you sooner."
"It's not too late."
Serafina gave Leonard a look full of love.
Leonard walked Serafina to the door, and then watched her gradually disappear into the sea of people.
"Serafina..."
Leonard muttered absently, and after a while he returned to the bar in despair.
He sat down in the empty seat next to Hastur, then drank two large glasses of Southwell beer. He sighed.
Angrily: "Hasta, I am really caught in the whirlpool of love."
"It seems like a joyful thing for you."
Of course, it is also something that makes me feel very happy.
Hastur looked calm, but he was already suppressing a smile in his heart.
"Yes, this is indeed a very happy and happy thing, but it also brought me pain. When I parted from her, the pain caused was no less than the happiness when we were together."
Leonard said with emotion: "Pain and happiness seem to be twins. No one can live without the other. Only with pain as nourishment can happiness be called happiness."
Hastur took a deep look at Leonard, boy, your thoughts are very dangerous!
Learn to taste pain, this is the teaching of the Witch Cult.
You are a believer of the goddess of the night, but you want to fall in love with an ageless witch, and her cognition and judgment are affected by her. Are you really not afraid of being struck to death by lightning from the goddess of the night?
Oh, it seems that the goddess of the night is not good at bringing down thunder.
"Happiness is not born from pain, and true happiness does not require the participation of pain. Pain is pain, and its existence will only bring misfortune to people."
Hastur still gave a little reminder to Leonard who was deeply in love.
"But I am experiencing pain right now."
Hasta thought for a moment and said, "You can marry her home. Won't you feel no pain when you see her every day?"
"Marry home?"
Leonard's eyes were dull for a moment, then gradually brightened, and then dimmed again.
He said with a depressed expression: "I have always regarded myself as a wandering poet and have never thought about marrying a wife and having children. This is a drag on me and will only hinder my progress."
